Although we may think Halloween is a uniquely American holiday, it is actually celebrated in many countries all over the world, including by our neighbors to the south in Mexico. Although primarily a children’s holiday in Mexico and often overshadowed by Día de los Muertos that generally takes place after Halloween has ended, it is still a fun holiday to celebrate, especially right here in Rocky Point. Offering colorful costumes, fun parties, and because of Day of the Dead, the opportunity to extend the celebration, your Halloween visit to Rocky Point and your stay in our comfortable fall escapes will ensure that this holiday will be one you remember for years to come and may even become a new tradition in your family travel schedule! This guide to spending a Rocky Point Halloween in our south of the border hometown will help you get started on your travel plans, ensuring that you won’t miss a single moment of fun and excitement.
While not a typical Halloween activity, October in Rocky Point is arguably the best time of the year and with temperatures reaching upwards of 75 degrees, you truly can’t miss spending some time on our sandy beaches. The water is still relatively warm as well, especially for those visiting from colder climes, meaning you can swim, frolic in the surf, or ride the banana boats that although they seem a little strange really are a lot of fun! Pack a cooler full of your favorite snacks and beverages and celebrate the holiday relaxing and soaking in the serenity of the sea just one time and you will never want to celebrate any other way ever again!
There is always a party going on in Rocky Point and over Halloween, you can expect them to be holiday themed. Many of the local hot spots will offer costume contests and drink specials and in past years, Manny’s Beach Club has always been the hottest spot in town! It’s still a little soon for more concrete details, but historically, as guests drink, dance, and drink in the laid back vibes of the Mexican Coastline, they could also dress up in their spookiest best, perhaps even winning a price for best costume. Additionally, Wrecked at the Reef, another hot party spot, has often made their Rocky Point Halloween celebrations kid friendly, giving candy to the youngsters, thereby ensuring they enjoy the best part of the holiday as well!
Although the celebrations of Halloween are mostly geared towards Americans, the celebration of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is all Mexican and in spite of the name, not as morbid as you would think! This two-day celebration is held November 1st and 2nd this year and pays homage to loved ones who have passed onto the next realm with costumes, candy, and parades through the streets, very similar to our own Halloween celebrations. What is different, however, is the belief that spirits return home on this special day to celebrate with their families because this is the day when the curtain between the living and the dead is the thinnest. This holiday can be traced to the pre-Columbian days and its historic range adds richness and depth to the parties that accompany the day and because food is the central part of the celebration, we think you will enjoy it more than other holidays! This popular holiday is celebrated all over town, so don’t be surprised to come across a random parade, surprise fiestas, and many versions of La Catrina hanging out in the streets and at the beaches.
Some of your best Halloween moments will happen while relaxing and enjoying the comforts and amenities of our FMI Rentals holiday hideaways! Sip homemade witch’s brews on patios and rooftops overlooking the Sea of Cortez, knowing that you don’t have to drive anywhere or be up at any certain time. Our fully equipped kitchens will offer everything you need to create a holiday feast and many, if not most, provide blenders that will allow you to try out new drink recipes. State-of-the-art televisions will be smart ones or cable access so go ahead and binge watch your favorite Halloween horror movies. From the classics (Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween) to the new classics (Halloween 2, 3, 4, & 5) to the final movie of the series (Halloween Kills) you and your favorite traveling companions can enjoy a night filled with spooky thrills! And because we only enjoy haunted houses in the movies, we can promise that not only are our properties not haunted, no nightmares will take place during your nights of happy dreams and sweet oblivion. Reserve your favorite escape today!
As the days begin to shorten and the evenings grow cooler, some of our favorite people in the world feel a little bit of sadness that the season of summer has passed. Especially our friends who live in colder climes, knowing that winter is just a blink away can be difficult when you still feel as if you have beach days that have yet to be experienced and your summer tan just needs a touch more added to become perfect, instead of fading away. For those who feel the passing of summer as a physical ache, we at FMI Rentals have the solution of summer, a visit to Rocky Point, Mexico and a stay in our seasonal sanctuaries! Summer lasts longer south of the border and although the days do grow somewhat cooler, the sun shines bright, the waters stay warm, and the carefree vibe of summer stays strong. This guide to why the fall is the perfect time for a Rocky Point vacation will help you keep summer alive just a little bit longer!
Fall signifies back to school and back to reality, and most travelers are staying home preparing for a new year of chaos, clearing out the beaches of Rocky Point, lessening the lines in restaurants, and creating a vacation experience that is tranquil and serene. With temperatures in the 80s, you are going to want to spend as much time as possible at the beach, and because the crowds have dissipated for the season, it will almost feel as if the sand and sea belongs to you and your family! These moments spent building sandcastles that won’t be destroyed by uncaring crowds, frolicking in the salt waters without stepping on the feet of unnoticing children, and relaxing on beach chairs with unencumbered views of the Sea of Cortez will bring about some of the best moments of your adventures in Mexico. (And yes, the banana boats ARE as fun as they look, and you and your family may have one to yourselves!)
Americans are often confused into believing that Mexican Independence is what’s celebrated on Cinco de Mayo when it is actually the celebration of winning a battle over France. Mexican Independence Day is on September 16, and the two-day celebration may even outdo the ones Americans enjoy in July! The party is an authentic glimpse into the culture of the people who live here, beginning with a call to independence (Grito de Delores), mariachi music, traditional foods, fireworks, and the burning of a makeshift castle! Mexican treats will please your palate, and the colors, sights, and sounds of the country enjoying the most important day in their history will make you appreciate your visit even more. The town does pretty much shut its doors to allow everyone the opportunity to celebrate, and technically it isn’t fall yet, but we still think visiting Rocky Point over Mexican Independence Day will give you the most genuine fall experience!
The fully equipped kitchens of your FMI Rentals fall abodes are lacking one thing—the food and beverages you need to feed your family during your stay—but a visit to the Rocky Point Farmers & Artisan Market will help remedy that very quickly! Founded in 2012, this is THE spot to get local produce, seafood, and other food items, as well as providing a huge assortment of arts and crafts that will make ideal gifts for family and friends. Remember, even though it feels like summer, it IS fall, and the holidays are coming up more quickly than you will be ready for, and the wares sold at the market are destined to be the best gifts you can give.
Fall is a great time for fishing, and as you catch your limit of snappers and groupers, bringing them home to your FMI Rentals seasonal sanctuary to grill and serve will ensure you eat healthy while enjoying the freshest and sweetest meals of all. Many of our properties will offer charcoal or propane grills as well as outdoor tables which will add ambience to your al fresco dining, especially with a meal enjoyed as the sun sets over the sea!
The vibe is different south of the border, and your days this fall Rocky Point vacation will be some of the most carefree and laidback days you’ve ever experienced. Relax and recharge in our comfortable and welcoming homes, perhaps seating out on patios and balconies to watch the everchanging scenery of the sea, hanging out by pools, or napping on the sofa on a lazy Tuesday and let the summer feel seep into your soul. Reserve your favorite escape today!
As the summer holidays roll around again, Americans are flocking to the beaches of Rocky Point, understanding that this practically Southern Arizona coastal village can provide a peaceful, exciting, and fun-filled 4th of July Rocky Point, Mexico! Falling on a Tuesday in 2023, you may not have a long weekend to explore all that Rocky Point has to offer, but you are probably planning on combining your summer vacation with the celebration of America’s birthday and you get to save up those precious vacation hours as you do. But first, you may be asking why you should consider spending the most patriotic of holidays in a place our forefathers actually did battle with in the early days and our answer is, because you can! Those same forefathers fought for you to have the freedom to celebrate wherever you like and the beautiful holiday havens we at FMI provide for visitors from all over the world will ensure that your time in Mexico will be comfortable, stylish, and oh so exciting!
Breakfast is always going to be the most important meal of the day and you may be wondering why we are suggesting a German named restaurant in the heart of Mexico for breaking fast, but don’t worry, there is a method to our madness! Serving all-American breakfasts that are hearty and delicious in addition to a large selection of baked goods and sweet treats such as pancakes and waffles, your day in the sun will shine brighter when it starts at Kaffeehaus! The coffee is, of course, excellent as well, so go ahead, and enjoy a second cup!
No, you’re not going to find 4th of July parades with children and small animals running wild through the streets of downtown Rocky Point, but when you park your red towels on golden sands, prop a blue umbrella over your section of sand, and don your white bathing suits that will contrast nicely against your soon to be tan skin, do you think you will even mind? A day at the beach is a great idea any time of the year and on the 4th of July, as the sounds of the sea lull you into a peaceful state, or the rides on the banana boat bring about uncontrollable bouts of laughter, we think you won’t miss the parade one bit! Fill a cooler with your favorite snacks, sandwiches, and beverages, pack a book to read and something that can play your favorite music, and if you find yourself singing Happy Birthday to ME, instead of America, well, there isn’t a soul on earth that will blame you or think you are less than patriotic!
The best holidays always involve music, drinks, and a good time and the clubs and bars of Rocky Point are always willing to oblige! JJ’s Cantina is often the center of everything social, offering beachfront tables and every kind of tequila you can imagine, Wrecked at the Reef provides live music (on the sand!) and celebrations for all the American holidays (including 4th of July) and Manny’s Beach Club is the epitome of fun and excitement. Located on a section of the beach that they actually maintain themselves, tiki umbrellas can help protect travelers from the harsh rays of the summer sun, just as the beverages they serve will keep guests feeling chilled! Music lovers may want to hang out at Banditos, a local bar owned by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, a good time is guaranteed to be had, especially when the owners are in town and playing!
No matter how you spend your day time hours in Rocky Point, coming home to FMI Rentals can actually provide you with the ability to celebrate all-American style! Choose a cottage on the beach and wake each morning to the sun shining over the Sea of Cortez while strolling along the shore’s edge under the cool glow of the moonlight will provide a peaceful way to end the day. Chances are that although there are no official fireworks shows during your 4th of July escape to the sea, we can almost guarantee there will be some unofficial shows from your American neighbors on the beach! Our homes with big back yard and crystal clear pools are popular during the summer holidays, offering the opportunity to enjoy an Independence Day barbecue just as you might back home! Grill the fish you caught during your fishing expedition earlier in your trip and turn up the tunes you stream from your phone or laptop; high speed internet is just another amenity found in most of our homes! All the comforts of home can be found in our FMI Rentals holiday hideaways; reserve your favorite today!
Not every all-American holiday has to be spent in the USA. Especially as the long weekends of the summer holidays invite travelers to find a beach, a margarita, and authentic tacos to celebrate with, beginning with Memorial Day, a holiday that has its roots in the spring, but is often used as a kickoff to summer’s freedom! Heading south of the border to the world’s luckiest fishing village, Rocky Point, Mexico, promises to give celebrants a holiday they will never forget, especially when choosing FMI Rentals for their holiday hideaways! Offering comfort, relaxation, and some of the best views in the country, you can still enjoy an exciting Memorial Day and pay homage to our fallen heroes! This guide to spending your Rocky Point Memorial Day Weekend will give you something to look forward to as well as helping you find all the ways to celebrate in a new land!
There may not be a parade honoring those who sacrificed everything for our freedoms, but when you stake your claim on a section of a beach, you can always take a moment of silence to pay homage to their bravery. Our military has fought for our freedoms for hundreds of years and we like to think that the freedom to enjoy a long weekend on a beautiful beach is something they continue to fight for today! Add a patriotic touch while wearing a red swimsuit, white flip flops, and blue sunglasses as you relax and release all the stress of your real life on the sandy shores of the Sea of Cortez. Let the sounds of the sea lull you into a peaceful state or listen to your favorite music under sunny skies, reveling in the heat of the sun, the briny scent of the breezes tousling your hair, and the laughter and excitement of fellow beachgoers and the realization that this may be your newest tradition for the summer holidays!
A horseback ride on the beach (courtesy of El Establo Ranch) at dawn, a sunset cruise through EcoFun Adventures, or parasailing over the sea (also with EcoFun Adventures!) all of these activities might not have entered your mind during your at home celebrations, but you are in Rocky Point this year and it is time to broaden your horizons! Americans are known for their sense of adventure, bravery, and fun and the land south of our border provides a plethora of ways to experience excitement. And for a happy bonus, all the pictures you take from any of your Mexican adventures are guaranteed to earn the envy of your American friends back home doing nothing more than having a barbecue in their backyards!
When we scroll through our own social media sites, we notice that there are a lot of summer birthdays and if you are experiencing the same, why not take the extra hours of your Mexican getaway to enjoy some pre-birthday gift shopping? We can promise the gifts you purchase from local shops will not resemble anything you may have previously ordered online and the recipients will adore your unique and oh so thoughtful purchases! The Rodeo Drive of Rocky Point, Cholla Mall, is destined to have something you never knew you needed until you found it sitting on the shelf in the store. Don’t be surprised if your luggage ends up being a lot heavier on your return trip to the United States!
As you shop, play, and explore all that is amazing about Rocky Point, every morning will begin and end with the most comfortable of adventures, right here in one of our FMI Rentals holiday havens! You don’t even have to forgo any of your Memorial Day traditions but can modify them by adding a touch of Mexico to each activity!
Barbecue in the backyard but instead of grilling hot dogs and hamburgers, guests can barbecue snapper or halibut that was the catch of the day on your fishing charter you took in the early part of your weekend. (Blue Fin Fishing Charters, 480-704-4250 is a popular charter company!)
A pool party can be enjoyed with margaritas as your touch of Mexico, prepared in our fully equipped kitchens, when back home you might have supplied a cooler filled with beers! Another twist you can experience in your Memorial Day celebrations is a rooftop party that offers views of the sand, sea, and sunset; not every FMI Rentals holiday haven provides a rooftop patio, but now that you know they do exist we suspect you will search for the ones that do!
The most important holiday tradition is the one in which you celebrate with family and our family homes make it easy to do just that! Reserve your favorite holiday haven today!
As Mother’s Day draws closer, one question looms. How do you buy a gift for a woman who is absolutely perfect in your eyes? Your mom was there for you, unwaveringly providing support whenever you needed, loving you unconditionally, and protecting you from the dangers that may have come your way, and an arrangement of flowers, a card, and a meal at her favorite restaurant is supposed to be payment enough on the day that honors her? This year, we at FMI Rentals think we have the solution that will not only impress mom, it will earn you the title of “best gift giver EVER!” This year is the year you should gift Mom a Rocky Point vacation for Mother’s Day and a stay in one of our FMI Rentals south of the border sanctuaries, where skies will be sunny and the waters of the Sea of Cortez will be warm, where they celebrate Taco Tuesday every day of the week, and where the home sweet vacation home of your dreams provides comfort and entertainment. Our guide will paint a clearer picture of just how much this once in a lifetime getaway will mean to mom and the entire family!
A visit to Mexico can be a lot of things. It can be an exciting time spent enjoying deep sea fishing expeditions, riding jet skis through the waves, and having a party every night as you hit all the clubs and bars and stay out until the wee hours of the morning. This is probably not the Mother’s Day getaway you have envisioned for your mom, however, and that is ok. Mexico—Rocky Point more specifically—has a thousand faces, and it is the softer ones you will enjoy with mom. Our homes are built to comfort and coddle, offering light filled rooms, modern conveniences, and a cozy welcoming that will make mom feel right at home immediately upon entering the property. Choose a home on the beach where the views will speak to her soul and let her decide which chair on the back deck is going to be her throne. Some of our Mother’s Day havens will offer a private pool in the backyard, many will offer barbecues for dad to grill a meal in place of mom having to cook, and all will provide a carefree vibe that will add to the enjoyment of the getaway. Mom can greet the morning with a cup of coffee and a sense of awe as she watches the sun rise over the water, and she can end every day toasting the sunset with a glass of her favorite beverage. Wine is good, but in Mexico you may want to take her to the Tequila Factory and pick up a bottle that tastes especially good in a margarita. Salud!
Inside, no matter where you choose a condo, home, or cottage on the sea, your adventures will be of the most comfortable sort. Reading in that comfy chair by the window, watching television from the depths of sofas, even playing games at the dining room tables in these family escapes will give mom moments she will never forget. Fully equipped kitchens should be declared off limits to mom, unless she is seated at the breakfast bar with a fresh margarita in hand, imparting tips on how to make the potato salad taste like the one she makes! You, however, are encouraged to spend as much time as you like in our cozy kitchens, making meals, brewing coffee, and whipping up fresh batches of margaritas for all to enjoy.
Your days in Rocky Point will be filled with even more adventures as you stake your claim on a portion of the beach, spend your hours shopping in cute little stores and boutiques, and dine at restaurants that blend a taste of the sea with the heat and spice of a good Mexican dish. As you participate in all these wonderful adventures, however, in the back of your minds, you and mom will be counting the minutes until you are both able to retreat to the havens of comfort our bedrooms provide. Choose a home with multiple master bedrooms and let mom have her own space in which to relax and unwind or sacrifice that en suite bath and let her take the only master suite. This is her day, her week, her vacation to enjoy and you are here to make sure she enjoys every minute of her south of the border adventures!
It is never too soon to start planning the perfect gift for mom. Reserve your favorite sanctuary today!
Spring isn’t always the most wonderful time of year, especially if you happen to live in place where winter bullies its way through most of the season! Ski enthusiasts are often happy for winter overextending its welcome, but for the rest of the world, we want sunny days, warmer temperatures, and if not asking for too much, a restful sea to bring serenity to the season of promise! Sometimes you CAN get what you want, especially when you start planning for a spring getaway to Puerto Peñasco and a stay in one of our FMI Rentals seasonal sanctuaries! Offering sunny days, mild temperatures, and all the toes in the sand time you could ask for, your south of the border escape will be filled with fun and relaxation and our guide to upcoming spring events in Rocky Point will help you ensure that every minute will be your favorite!
This is the 4th year country has come to Manny’s and this Country Bash keeps getting more and more popular every year! Of course, what’s there not to love about listening to good music, drinking cold beverages, and letting the Sea of Cortez play backup to some of the hottest local bands? Sandy dance floors, beautiful sunsets, and a surprise headliner that Manny’s is keeping secret so far, all work together to ensure that your kickoff to spring will be an adventure you will never forget!
Ok, we aren’t going to pretend that running a triathlon while on vacation is our idea of a good time, (We are definitely more of the beer and country music types!) but there are many good people from all over the world who live for this stuff, and if you gotta swim, run, and bike, doing it in Rocky Point will help take away some of your pain. Hosted by Las Palomas Resort, the party itself has been billed as the best Triathlon Party in the world and because the Rocky Point laid back vibe is intrinsically linked to all that goes on under the sun here, this triathlon is an ideal one for beginners to participate in! Beginning and ending at the beach, it offers a variety of distances including a 5 and 10K, so if you are still unsure about the whole deal, you can pick the event you feel most comfortable in and enjoy an excellent day under the sun! Registration can be completed here.
Memorial Day Weekend is generally the kickoff for summer adventures but its position on the calendar remains firmly routed in spring! People who love people will love spending their long weekend in Rocky Point, hanging out at the beach, hanging out at the bars and clubs, and of course, hanging out in the comforts of their vacation hideaway! Enjoy beachfront seats to the hottest entertainment in town at Manny’s Beach Club or spend the day enjoying a family barbecue in your home sweet vacation home. Many of our FMI Rentals havens offer private pools or feature the beaches of Rocky Point as their back yards and barbecue grills, sea views, and family will ensure that you have all you need to enjoy the best Memorial Day of all!
This four-day concert series headed by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers has been a Rocky Point tradition for 23 years now, starting with a simple rooftop concert that blossomed into “a major event!” Tickets don’t go on sale until March and the headliners have yet to be announced, but previous year’s lineups have included some of the best local and international performers and because Circus Mexicus believes in giving back to the community, you and your favorite traveling companions will be doing a good deed while having the time of your lives!
Laidback, relaxed, and ‘ish (You know, we will meet at 5-ish!) are just a few words that can be used to describe the vibe of Rocky Point, and if you want to visit in the spring but don’t want to participate in any formal events, we say go for it! Spend your spring days soaking up the warmth of the sun, watching the sun set from your beach chair with your toes buried in the sand, and celebrating the season any way you wish! The best spring vacations begin and end in the comfort of our FMI Rentals seasonal sanctuaries and if your soul seeks serenity instead of chaos our south of the border fishing village can provide that as well! Reserve your favorite escape today and discover a world in which sleeping in late and being lazy in the day time is the norm!
As you begin preparations for the next summer holiday on the rotation, July 4th, you may not have considered taking the party south of the border, but we at FMI Rentals would have to ask, why not? Rocky Point in the summer offers leisurely days at the beach, inexpensive forays to the shops and boutiques that make our fishing village special, and our luxurious, comfortable, and stylish seasonal sanctuaries that guarantee you will feel welcomed and treasured! And because this year Independence Day falls on a Monday, the extended weekend could easily lead to a luxurious week-long getaway you will never forget! As you make your way for the this 4th of July in Rocky Point, this guide to all the fun you can have will guarantee a celebration you will wish never had to end!
Although Huevos Rancheros and Chilaquiles are always a good idea for breakfast, nothing beats a large plate of all-American pancakes, especially when you are celebrating our nation’s holiday. If you were worried you were going to have to skip this delicacy while exploring the beauty of Rocky Point, there is no need; Kaffee Haus has your back! Offering an international experience and a blend of German, Mexican, and American dishes, their pancakes are light, fluffy, and oh so delicious! Oh, and don’t forget to try the French Toast at this melting pot eatery! We promise it will become your newest obsession!
Spending a holiday at the beach is a time-honored tradition enjoyed by countless Americans and can be enjoyed during your 4th of July Rocky Point getaway! Stake your claim on your “acreage” of sand using beach towels, chairs, and colorful umbrellas to mark your territory and prepare for a day of sun, sand, and surf! Ride the banana boats through the water, swim laps to work off all those pancake calories, or float on your back on a bright raft, feeling the sun warm your skin as the sea calms your soul! There’s never going to be a better time to be an American in Mexico and your lazy day at the beach is all the proof you will need!
Traditionally it is burgers and hot dogs that are grilled for the 4th of July feast, but when you are in one of the best fishing villages in Mexico, how could you not try your hand at fishing? Charter an expedition into the deeper waters with Maldonado’s Fishing Services or Blue Fin Fishing Charters or set up at the shore’s edge with a cooler of beer and a pole and line and work on catching the night’s dinner. If the fish aren’t biting, you can always revert back to burgers and hot dogs purchased at the local Sam’s Club which will probably be open on Independence Day just as it is in your own hometown!
Here’s the deal. Yes, you are in Rocky Point celebrating our nation’s birthday, and no, July 4th doesn’t really mean anything to the locals, but as Rocky Point is often considered Arizona’s beach, you can pretty much bet that there will be a lot of the traditional celebrations, including fireworks, to be enjoyed during your stay! The beach is going to be your best option of getting your fill of oohs and ahhs and it won’t matter that it is not a traditional organized show synchronized to the music of the big bands. All that will matter is that you will be sitting with your toes in your hand, lulled into a peaceful state by the sounds of waves crashing against the beach, reflected by the explosions of colorful fireworks in the sky! Offering the ultimate in holiday experiences, a fireworks show is going to be one of the highlights of your visit and as you alternate between watching the show in the sky and the looks of awe and delight flashing across the faces of your precious children!
Our FMI Rentals offer a variety of homes and condos for your vacation enjoyment and can be the best part of your trip south of the border. Choose a home with a private pool and let your kids practice their cannonball jumps into the cool waters as you choose to relax on the giant Unicorn float you packed specifically for the trip. Wireless internet can allow you to stream your favorite music stations and provided grills can add to the holiday experience as you char your favorite meat or grill up the catch of the day! Some of our homes offer rooftop patios allowing guests to enjoy panoramic views of any fireworks displays that may be in the area and others may be located just steps from the beach, ensuring you can see the extravaganzas from your back patio! The 4th of July may just be another summer day to the denizens of Mexico, but for you, it is destined to be the most patriotic of celebrations! Reserve your favorite today!
You may be a bit busy planning your summer getaway but if you are a planner like we are, we are willing to bet that you have all the details locked down; vacation home rented, Park tickets purchased, and that new bikini you have had your eye on is already tucked away in your partially packed suitcase. You have already figured out the benefits of booking early and have moved on to the initial planning stages for your winter escape to Rocky Point and stay in one of our FMI Rentals seasonal sanctuaries! (And yes, we think it is perfectly normal to already have a second new bikini waiting in your online shopping cart!) Winter in Rocky Point is destined to be an adventure you have been dreaming about your entire life and if you aren’t a planner and do everything on the fly, we think this guide to booking your Winter 2022 Rocky Point getaway will help show you the benefits and start upping the anticipation levels instantly!
The number one reason for booking this early is, of course, the savings benefits. Winter is prime tourist season in Rocky Point with everyone wanting to spend their vacation hours under sunny skies at the beach and the closer you get to the season in question, the higher the prices often rise! Book your winter escape today and get today’s prices, tucking away your savings for purchasing some Mexican pottery or silver and turquoise jewelry! You will get to enjoy the same comforts and luxuries as those who waited until the last minute but because you planned ahead, you get to enjoy them at a lower cost!
We have all been there. Pouring over the pictures on your screen, finding the home that is on the beach, has a private pool, and is large enough to fit all the members of your family only to discover when you click the Book Now button it isn’t available for the dates you need! Pushing down your disappointment, you continue to scroll until you find something that may not check all your boxes (who needs a beachfront home with a pool anyway?) that does happen to be available when you need it. By booking now, before summer even begins, chances are you will have your pick of homes and that first choice? You will be walking on the beach at sunrise, watching the sunset over the Sea of Cortez in the mornings, and spending your daylight hours at your choice of locations, either the private pool or at the beach!
When we at FMI Rentals travel, we like to buy guidebooks of the region we are traveling to and learn everything there is to do! (And yes we mean EVERYTHING!) We study every page, highlighting the items that interest us, putting stars on the activities that we find most interesting, and even dog-earing our favorite pages. We also pack the book in our luggage, but to be perfectly honest, all we are doing is taking up space that could be used for the souvenirs we are bringing back home because we have our activities not just planned out but memorized! When you take a little extra time in planning your Rocky Point escape, you have the opportunity to explore every little detail that makes our hometown fishing village the vacation you will never forget! You’ll know where to take the littles to examine tide pools, you will be able to plan out time to ride the banana boats, and you will have all your tours picked out and booked! Whale watching in January, golfing in February, or exploring the Picante Biosphere Preserve in March; without planning and research, you would never have known these activities are an option!
Another benefit to booking your winter getaway so early also involves saving money but this time you are saving money to build up your vacation budget. Tuck away extra money whenever you can by brewing your own coffee, riding the bus instead of driving, and maybe eating at home one Friday a month instead of ordering your standard pizza. Because you have been planning for so long, these simple methods of saving can actually add up to a decent amount, allowing you to play harder!
As you mark off each day on the calendar, sleeping at night will be that much easier, especially if you lull yourself into a state of comfortable relaxation by dreaming about endless margaritas, sunsets over the sea, and long lazy days spent exploring the wonders of our neighbors to the south. Book your favorite FMI Rentals seasonal sanctuary today and while you’re at it, go ahead and click purchase now on that swimsuit in your online shopping cart; you deserve it!
There are no rules to where you choose to spend your vacation days, even if you are heading off for a long weekend during a holiday that celebrates the American men and women who have sacrificed everything so we could have it all. Yes, even on Memorial Day, a long weekend spent enjoying the laid back lifestyle of Rocky Point in Mexico can be exactly what your soul needs and when you choose FMI Rentals for your holiday hideaway, your all-American dreams are destined to come true! Especially if you dream about long days spent at the beach, enjoying spicy Mexican food, and sipping margaritas as the sun sets over the sea; these are three things we can promise will make your Rocky Point Memorial Day 2022 one day you will never want to end! This guide to your stay in Rocky Point over the long weekend will ensure that every minute of your day will be filled with fun, laughter, and all the comforts of home!
Drop your suitcases in the room of your choice, grab your new bikini and swim trunks, and head out to the sandy beaches of Rocky Point for your own celebration of our All-American holiday. Coolers filled with your favorite foods and beverages, beach loungers covered by colorful umbrellas, and the sounds of waves crashing against the beach; this is all you need to feel your spirits rising and your soul relaxing. Maybe this will be the year you rent a jet ski from Extreme Adventures and zip across the waters, feeling the saltwater spray against your skin. Or maybe the banana boats filled with a line of laughing tourist is what captures your fancy and makes you decide to give it a shot. Or possibly, this is the year you choose to spend your entire beach days on your chair, reading the summer blockbuster from two years ago because in real life, you rarely have the time to read, and sipping cool beverages pulled from the cooler beside you. There are no wrong ways to celebrate this holiday often known as the kick off to summer, just many wonderful ways that are as unique as you are!
Real life means having to go to bed early so you can wake up early and do all the things you HAVE to do but this Rocky Point Memorial Day, real life is suspended. These are the days you can stay up as long as you want and sleep in as late as you need and because there are always hordes of Americans traveling here for the holiday, the clubs in town are destined to capture your interest! Last call at 3 AM makes the Elixir Lounge Bar a local favorite and although the Boo Bar Cantina closes at Midnight, the music, the people, and the energy ensure it will be your favorite party spot this holiday weekend! Manny’s Beach Club is a tradition you will kick yourself for not trying out and Wrecked at the Reef provides a beach front party you will never want to end! Offering corn hole games, ping pong tables, live music, and 3 fire pits to gather round and celebrate with all your new American friends, your time in Rocky Point will be a party that lasts all night long! (Even as Wrecked closes at 3 AM!)
You may be surprised to discover that yes, you can have barbecue that you don’t have to grill yourself during your Rocky Point Memorial Day adventures. Rocky Point Barbecue House, Guillermo Prieto, Calle Melchor Ocampo 33, Centro, offers all your grilled favorites and perhaps a few new tastes that you will have to try to believe! Fire Pit Meat & Grill, P.º las Glorias 1, Bella Vista, Centro, is another local barbecue spot, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we can’t choose which dish we love best but we can tell you that you won’t miss your American celebrations one bit when you choose to dine at either of these special spots!

Of all the major holidays, Easter is the most laidback. Requiring nothing more than some sunrise observances, chocolate, and time spent with our families feasting and enjoying each other’s company, this special day is perhaps one of our favorites! And even though Easter isn’t typically considered a traveling holiday, we think that the laid back vibe makes it the perfect holiday to explore the world out there beyond the limits of your hometown, and a visit to Rocky Point is where we think you should start your journey. Offering an easygoing ambience that matches the holiday and the chance to soak up some sunlight that has been sadly lacking in your northern hometown lately, the only thing better than an Easter vacation South of the Border is an Easter vacation spent in the comfort of our FMI Rentals holiday hideaways! This guide to the fun you can have, both inside our homes and outside in the town, will ensure that your Easter vacation in Puerto Penasco will be filled with magical moments you will never forget!
The sunrise service is a traditional part of the Easter holiday and is something you can participate in during your visit to Rocky Point, you may find yourself wanting to observe the sunrise from a different perspective. Feeling close to the heavens is easy when you enjoy a sunrise stroll along water’s edge! Dig your toes into the soft sands and turn your eyes skyward, watching the dark skies lighten as the glorious ball of fire rises higher and higher on the horizon. These pre and post-dawn moments offer a quiet peace that speaks to your soul and when you find yourself needing a “booster” the sun setting into the sea at the end of every day does just the job! The fire in the sky, morning and evening, has been known to draw applause from all onlookers and on Easter it will be appreciated even more.
For children there are certain aspects of Easter that should never be skipped and awakening to a full basket of sweet treats and Easter prizes is one of those things! Every kid waits eagerly for the chance to tear into their pastel basket of goodies and while you could pack all the necessities into your carryon, we think a visit to Dulceria Rubio’s is always a good idea! Offering all the candies you know and love and many that your kiddo may enjoy trying for the first time, Dulceria Rubio’s has become a local Easter tradition that will become your new obsession!
Our favorite part of almost any holiday is the meal that often is the center of the celebration and although you may not find any Easter brunches in town, the restaurants that will be open will definitely give you cause to celebrate! Enjoy a sweet breakfast at Candy Cake Breakfast and Dessert (their waffles will make your mouth water), savor a delicious lunch at Rosy’s Restaurant, or devour a dinner from Chef Mickey’s Place as you celebrate this most beautiful holiday of the year!
Of course the most important part of the holiday is the people we celebrate with and what better way to enjoy each other’s company than by spending a few lazy hours at the beach? Easter falls on April 17th this year and our average temperatures can actually get up near 70 degrees, so slip into your favorite swimsuit, grab your gear, and get closer to nature in one of the most tranquil places in the world, the beaches of Rocky Point. Feeling the sun beat down on your shoulders after months spent in the cold and gray, enjoy a picnic feast as the water crashes against the shore, and if the banana boats are up and running, laugh out loud as you ride the waves with your favorite people! The holidays are about family and whether you spend this one in a church or at the beach, magic will be found in the ones you share the day with!
Our FMI Rentals properties only become the homes they wish to be when your families reside within, so why not enjoy all the comforts of home as you celebrate in your vacation home away from home? Hide colorful eggs for your children to find, stay up late preparing baskets that will be filled with their favorite treats, sip wine as you watch the sun set over the horizon, and enjoy an Easter feast prepared in our fully equipped kitchens! Every minute spent under the roofs of our homes will be the best ones as you, your kids, and friends laugh, love, and dine in comfort and style that can only be brought to you by FMI Rentals. Reserve your favorite escape today!
